Trouble is brewing for many film franchises; audience turnout isn't what it used to be. Why have Marvel, DC, Disney, and Pixar, among others, released so many box office flops recently? We attempted to string together enough coherent sentences in order to answer that question on this year-in-review episode of Utterly Nonsense.

It's over at last, thank Grodd. That finale was... something. Yes, we're talking about The Flash, again, but for what will HOPEFULLY be the last time.

Once again, a female-led MCU feature has stirred up controversy for being "the worst thing Marvel has created and yet another example of woke garbage holding up a middle finger to comic book fans!" Or was it an accurate meta-commentary on toxic fandoms, which successfully baited the exact reaction it predicted it would get? Maybe everyone's overthinking it and needs to chill out, because how are people seriously not tired of all th...

Did we love Thor: Love and Thunder or was it a blunder? Was the Ms. Marvel series a CW-level teen drama? What was all that comic-con Marvel business about? Once again, we talk all things Marvel on this episode. As a heads up, we had some technical issues with the audio recording, but rest assured we are currently at work finding a padded cell for Jack to record from in the future.

That's right, back to talking about DC again. Will we ever cover anything that isn't Marvel or DC? Maybe at some point, we'll just have to wait and see.
